1. ENJJPT SC #68 T-6A Programs Mr. Patrick Frye AFLCMC/WLZ (JPATS) Air Vehicle Lead (Deputy) XX September 2014

2. Overview Funding summary T-6 Current & Future Mod’s 2

3. SC68 Funding Timeline (FY) Summary Wing Stringer Drain Hole and ATD Visual Systems efforts are complete A new cost estimate for ADS-B Out is in work 3

4. T-6 Mod’s Wing stringer drain hole rework – 5 areas in wing require cold working to ensure structural durability and negate extensive recurring inspections – Not a common maintenance task/effort: depot field team will be used to accomplish rework – ENJJPT PO, Annex 10, “Logistics Essential”, per HQ AFMC – Sheppard retrofits: Completed March 14 – Estimated cost: $102K 4

5. Future T-6 Mod’s 1.Automatic Dependant Surveillance - Broadcast: (ADS-B) Out – Modify aircraft and ATDs to meet FAA mandated National Airspace requirements by 1 Jan 2020. – ENJJPT PO, Annex 10, “Mission Essential”, per HQ AFMC – Earliest anticipated Sheppard installation: FY18 – Estimated cost: $15.0M total Cost update in work pending project strategy 5 AETC FY16 POM strategy for ADS-B as a separate project versus combined as AVI suite approach. New cost estimate expected by early fall 2014.

6. Future T-6 Mod’s (cont.) 2.CFIS (Canopy Fracture Initiation System) Ballistic – Modify aircraft due to obsolescence of current laser/flash initiated system. Replace with military certified ballistic system – ENJJPT PO, Annex 10, “Logistics Essential”, per HQ AFMC – Earliest anticipated Sheppard installation: FY16 Retrofit at next scheduled R&R – Estimated cost: $349K 6

7. Future T-6 Mod’s (cont.) 3.Wing Rib one repair/correction – Cracking discovered on top portion of center wing rib (rib one) – Repair/correction is still TBD, but will be depot level effort – ENJJPT PO, Annex 10, “Safety of Flight”, per HQ AFMC – Earliest anticipated Sheppard work: TBD – Estimated cost: TBD 7 Cost estimate expected by early fall 2014.

8. Future T-6 Mod’s (cont.) 4. ATD DAS II - Control loading Retrofit Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) elements of legacy platforms to the Electronic Control Loading System (ECLS) and Flight Deck I/O of the JPATS ATDs are obsolete and have limited supportability Legacy IP ‑ GSNet cards, 429 Cards, and power supplies are out of production and cannot be supplied by any vendor Projections based on current failure rates indicate that ATDs will start becoming irreparable in 2015. This will cause the number of ATDs for student training to decrease until insufficient numbers of ATDs are available to support Program Flying Training throughput mandated by AETC and CNATRA. – Estimated cost for Shepperd AFB: 1.2M 8

9. Future T-6 Mod’s (cont.) ATD DAS II - Control loading Retrofit (cont.) 9 ??? Next Generation of COTS Control Loading Legacy DRI system Current Production DAS II System

10. Future T-6 Mod’s (cont.) 5. Rudder Binding Repair Over two dozen events to date -- similar failure mode (jamming/binding rudder controls) Problem self-corrects on landing No mishaps attributed to this condition Number of incidents occurring at an increasing rate Fault tree aggressively investigated by USG and Contractor Determine root cause ECD – Unknown (maximum effort underway) Estimated cost of repair – Unknown as root cause and repair method TBD 10

11. Summary Cost figures presented are subject to change due to program delays, aircraft beddown changes, DoD funding adjustments, efficiencies not determined, contract restructuring and re-pricing, or other unforeseen circumstances. This info is provided for long range budget planning purposes and should not be interpreted as a final cost estimate. Our goal is to ensure NATO’s future fighter pilot training needs are met and ENJJPT, with new advanced training systems, will continue to produce the world’s best pilots. 11
